CHICAGO -- The Tribune reported this morning on its Web site that the rumored engagement of Sgt. Drew Peterson is just that: A rumor.
According to the report, The woman to whom Drew Peterson claims to be engaged lives with her boyfriend and no intention of marrying the former Bolingbrook police sergeant, the boyfriend and her father said today.
On Wednesday, Peterson's publicist issued a statement saying that he was engaged. The woman's family confirmed that Peterson had given a ring to Christina Raines, 23, a Romeoville waitress with two young kids.
According to the report, her boyfriend said, "She never said, 'Yes, I will marry you.'" said Raines' boyfriend, Mike, who declined to give his full name. He and Raines have dated for two years, have lived together for more than a year and both work at a Bolingbrook restaurant.
According to the report, Raines’ family are casual acquaintances with Peterson, who frequented the restaurant where Christina works.
According to the report, the boyfriend said Raines and Peterson have been casually hanging out in recent months, despite his insistence that she stay away from Peterson. He said the engagement announcement by Peterson is revenge for her rebuffing his advances.
According to the report, Christina hasn't seen or spoken to Peterson in more than a week.
Peterson, who declined to reveal his fiancé's identity, maintained his weeklong silence on Saturday.
In the report, Ernie Raines said his daughter is “naive and vulnerable and didn't want to cause a confrontation” when Peterson, 54 and still married to his missing third wife, slipped a ring onto her finger more than a week ago.
